And distributed them to State Dept.s around the world. To quote the Washington Times10/25/11:
The State Dept. has bought more than $70,000.00 worth of books authored by Pres. Obama, sending out copies as Christmas gratuities and stocking "key libraries" around the world with "Dreams of my Father" more than a decade after it's release.
    The U.S. Embassy in Egypt for instance, spent $28,636.00 in Aug. 2009 for copies Mr. Obama's best selling memoir. Six weeks earlier,the Embassy had placed another order for the same book for more than $9,000.00,federal purchasing records show.
    About the same time, Embassies around the world, like the U.S. Embassy in South Korea, had the same idea and spent more than $6,000.00 for copies of "Dreams of my Father".
    One month later, the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, ( Where Obama went to school as a child) spent more than $3,800.00 for hardcover copies of the Indonesian version of Obama's "Dream of my Father" renamed "The Audacity of Hope", records show.
    A review of  the expenditures in a Federal data base did not reveal any examples of State Department purchases of books by former Presidents George W. Bush or Bill Clinton.
    The purchases of Mr. Obama's literary work mostly, but not always, took place in the months after Obama captured the White House.
    Leslie Paige, Spokeswoman for a watch dog group called"Citizens Against Gov't Waste", said "If the Federal Gov't is looking to cut costs, eliminating purchases of Mr. Obama's books would be a good place to start."
    I didn't read the book, nor do I intend to, but I did read about his father. If Barack Obama had lived the life of his father here in America, he'd be in jail today or dead from driving drunk into a tree.
    He might think about writing a book about his Grandparents, who I'm sure taught him any values he might have today. He was not raised by his mother or father. No detriment mean't to him. He was the crafty one. We were the gullible ones.
     I wonder if his book is worth reading in the first place. I'm sure it's been written in the "Seminar Liberal/Socialist" language.     Just sayin'.
